Default Word not prompting properly on Save As

Hi,

Starting today with Word 2002 (SP3), when I try to save a doc with the same
name as an existing file, I no longer get prompted:

"file XYZ already exists...Do you want to replace it?"

Have I perhaps inadvertently disabled a 'Tools | Option | Save' choice or
something? My currently enabled settings in that dialog a

Allow background saves
Embed lingustic data
Save AutoRecover info every
Enabled smart tags

All the rest are disabled.

I tried restarting Word--to no avail.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

-john
